Did you get formal training in using Outlook? Most employees don’t. “Here are your computer, your email address, and your in-box, good luck” is usually as good as it gets. Thousands of email messages later, it’s impossible to keep on top of it. In this course, Outlook methods are demonstrated “live” by a Certified Microsoft Specialist using the LCD.
